Creating a budget is hard work, but keeping to it can be harder. So to give you some ideas on how to do that, here are some of the ways we helped our customers stretch their storage budgets in 2017.Creating a budget is hard work, but keeping to it can be harder. So to give you some ideas on how to do that, here are some of the ways we helped our customers stretch their storage budgets in 2017

First, of course, was support for legacy NetApp. We helped many of our NetApp customers with low-cost maintenance and technical services for their 7-mode systems and helped others migrate to cDot. During 2017, we added new support customers in our mining and exploration vertical market. These installations are often in very remote locations (mines in Congo, Chile, Peru, etc.). This means providing on-site spares kits, because of difficult logistics; further, it requires increased telepresence support. To assist with this, we have developed several diagnostic techniques to help our customers maintain their systems’ high availability status even in these remote environments.

Second, we sold many off-lease transferable licensedNetApp systems to customers who loved the product but couldn’t afford New. The same goes for add-on NetApp storage shelves for customers looking for affordable capacity upgrades. Our refurbished NetApp hardware has shipped worldwide, saving customers money.

Finally, on the SimplStor side, our installed base of SimplStor storage servers continues to expand, and we’ve seen a lot of interest in our new Petabyte series (1.5PB in only 8U) for video and archive environments and will soon deploy several large SimplStor EVS surveillance solutions–which include our storage, Dell switches, and Axis cameras and software.

Our customers know that Zerowait’s staff is available whenever they have a problem, and we have had many NetApp service and support customers for over a decade. Zerowait’s philosophy is to provide our customers with flexible service solutions and products that are easily adaptable to their requirements, while helping them stretch their IT budgets

Today’s storage  customers require Scalability, Flexibility, Reliability, and Affordability from their storage solutions. It takes a guide to find that perfect stretch of water, and we work hard to guide our customers to the perfect storage solution. Good Fishing!

If you are fishing for a new NetApp support provider or an alternative storage solution please give us a call, please feel free to contact us with a time/date to arrange a conference call with you and your team.
